I tried Google Chrome for Linux last month, and felt it was a little too unstable for me to use as my primary browser.
I started trying it again recently, this time without enabling plugins, because Flash seemed to be causing problems last time. It seemed to help, and I WAS going to post that it is now very stable (after several days of rock-steady operation) -- only problem is, it crashed four times yesterday. I think what's happening is that I tend to keep a lot of tabs open, and Chrome seems to crash when the CPU load and memory used near maximum. Still, the developers have made tremendous strides since my August experience -- Chrome is now stable enough for me to use regularly. I wish though that it would crash more gracefully instead of coming all down at once. After all, one of the reasons I wanted to try Chrome is because the 'tabs as separate processes' model is supposed to keep one bad tab/URL from bringing down the entire browser. I suppose I should be shutting down the tabs that Chrome thinks are having problems, then reopening them individually to determine which are causing problems. I'll start doing that to see whether it helps with stability. One thing that seems to help reduce memory load and CPU load significantly for many tabs is to use a bookmarklet that 'zaps' embedded scripting. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Chromium Discussion mailing list: [email protected] View archives, change email options, or unsubscribe: http://groups.google.com/group/chromium-discuss -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
